- electrical device 18 is an electrical machine with a power rating of 1 kW - 5 kW, such as an induction motor or any other type of electric motor.

- one or more gate drivers 22 may be shared by both the at least one FET-type device 24 and the at least one thyristor-type device 26.
- each of the at least one FET-type device 24 and the at least one thyristor-type device 26 may have one or more dedicated gate drivers 22.
- sharing may take place at any current level, e.g., above threshold voltage for the at least one thyristor- type device 26.
- the current flow passing through switch 20 may not be shared at any given current level, but rather may be shared insofar as the at least one FET-type device 24 transmitting all current at lower current regimes, e.g. below some predetermined threshold value, with the at least one thyristor-type device transmitting all current in higher current regimes, e.g., above the threshold value.
- gate driver 22 is constructed and operative to provide a continuous on signal to the gate(s) of the at least one FET-type device 24, while switch system 14 is turned on, e.g., during steady state operation.
